The enzyme acts on poly-N-acetyllactosamine [glycan chains of beta-D-galactosyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units connected by beta(1,3) linkages] attached to proteins or lipids. It transfers a GlcNAc residue by beta(1,6)-linkage to galactosyl residues close to non-reducing terminals, introducing a branching pattern known as I branching.

might function in biosynthesis of cell surface polylactosaminoglycans on Novikoff cells and blood group I antigenic structures, formation of the GlcNAcbeta(1-3)(GlcNAcbeta(1-6))Gal-R branching points in the branched type of polylactosylaminoglycans
GlcNAc residues are introduced to position C-6 of the terminal galactose of the glycoprotein, relative high activity towards asialo-alpha1-acid glycoprotein in Novikoff ascites tumor cells
the enzyme should mostly be responsible for making distal I-branch structures on poly-N-acetyllactosamine sequences in small intestine, as well as making mucin core 2 and core 4 structures, it alos has high C2/C4GnT activities
